On tap at the Garden Shed. Pours orange gold. Orange, grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, biscuit, toffee. Pretty tasty.

Bottle, 10C. Clear amber with a fading white head. Aroma is toasty with pine, berries, spices. Just medium bodied, (too) fizzy. Malty but not very sweet; berries that _just_ avoid the boiled lolly feel, pine, grass/weeds. Only moderate bitterness but it seems mean rather than an invitation to another sip. A way off what I like of theirs.

Pours amber with a small head.Nose shows juicy fruits, confectionery notes, soft pine, lychee and passionfruit along with sweet bready malt.Flavours include heavy pine and grassy hops, some caramel and light bready malt. Finishes with an assertive bitterness.Carbonation is much too aggressive.
